Buying a Double Pram Pushchair
The most suitable option for parents who have more than one child is a double pram pushchair. They're typically convertible, which means you can attach a bassinet, second seat or car capsule.
Lightweight and stylish This sleek stroller transforms into a twin using a clever frame that can be expanded the width. It can also fit 2 carrycots, infant chairs or a triple stroller. The canopy is UPF 50+ and has windows that can be seen from afar.
Comfort
If you're expecting a second child or your toddler is an avid walker and you've been going on family walks or long day outings with them, then a double pram pushchair could be an essential investment for you. It is important to keep in mind that not all double prams are created equal and you must pick the right one to suit your lifestyle.
Side by side double prams have two seats adjacent to each other, so that your children can view each other and engage with one another on a walk. However, they tend to be larger than single prams, and, therefore, may not fit through some doorways or be difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths or in shopping centers. They are also heavier when folded.
Tandem (in-line) double prams pushchairs prams are a bit easier to maneuver, but aren't as narrow as single prams. They can be more difficult to fold as the seat is usually farther away from the handle, and they may have more parts to assemble when you're ready to use them again. They also cost more than a double side-by-side pram.
Some parents who are first-time parents choose an convertible double pram to make sure they are able to purchase it in the future. They also can use it in single or double mode depending on the needs of your family. They tend to be quite large and bulky when folded, and might not be suitable for your toddler once they've outgrown their pram seat. Do some research before purchasing.
Joolz offers different double prams pushchairs that can be used in tandem or in a line. They are simple to change, and provide an excellent function for families that are growing. The Venus is our most popular twin pram, since it can be used right from birth, including the addition of newborn cocoons. (PS59 per one) This provides a level space for your baby. It can also be converted into one with the addition of a toddler's board when your children are ready to walking independently.
Safety
To keep both children comfortable and safe during outings it's important to select a double pushchair that has padded harnesses and seats. Double prams typically have more storage space than single prams which makes it easier to transport snacks, extra clothing toys, and other essentials for both children. Whether you want to choose a side by side double pram or one in front of the other there are lots of options to consider.
The most well-known option is a convertible double pram. It starts out as a single stroller, but can be converted to accommodate a second seat, bassinet/carrycot or infant car seat. They are ideal for parents who have two children close to their age and want to make their purchase future-proof.
Tandem prams however provide more flexibility in seating and also a place for a child to sit or stand on a toddler's board while the parent pushes them. However, they aren't 100% safe when it comes to fighting between siblings. It is recommended to avoid putting them in the same car.
Double strollers are available in a variety of styles and colors, so you can choose the one that best suits your family. Many people choose a side-by-side double pram due to its versatility. It is easily transformed into a twin travel system by simply adding a Maxi Cosi or Cybex car seat to the frame.
A lot of our double strollers can be bought in a set of twin strollers. This is a cost-effective method of purchasing a double pram. The sets include everything you need to turn your new prams into twin travel systems. This includes two spacious toddler seats with sun canopy, a large basket, and adapters for car seats. This can save parents money by not needing to purchase an additional twin stroller. It is also great if you are a family who travels often. The Double Trouble Twin Pram, for instance comes with a pair of toddler seats that are suitable from birth and can be used in conjunction with the Maxi-Cosi or Cybex Infino car seat to form an entire twin travel system.
Storage
It's a daunting task to purchase a double pushchair. However, it's worth doing some research before you make your purchase. There are many aspects to consider, including the comfort of your children and parents size, weight, fold and wheels. It is also important to think about the fabric and the construction. A well-made pram will last longer, be able to be easily repaired and will also have a greater resale value.
Another thing to think about is the number of pram bassinets or seats that the double pushchair can accommodate. You can make sure that your purchase is future-proof by selecting a tandem double buggy (in-line). This type of double stroller travel has the children placed on opposite sides, which makes it easier to get through doors and on public transport. Tandem double buggies are often larger in general than a single pram pushchair, but it is essential to verify the dimensions prior to buying.
The Joolz Geo 3 Double is a stylish and city-friendly double pushchair. This compact model can be used on public transport and through narrow doors. It can be used to accommodate twins or a baby and toddler, and can even be used with UPPAbaby's PiggyBack board for older siblings. The Geo 3 is easy to steer, has a large basket area and comes with a lifetime guarantee to ensure your peace of mind.
There are a variety of alternatives available if you don't want a pram to grow with your child. There are numerous compact, single-seat strollers with an ample storage basket underneath the chassis as well as a tray for parents. Some have an easy fold and swivel front wheels for extra manoeuvrability. These models are perfect for day excursions, short walks or for running through the streets. These models are ideal for parents and grandparents who wish to carry their strollers into their car boot, or onto public transportation. This model comes in a range of fashionable colors, so you'll be able to find one that matches your family's aesthetic.
Style
The style of their double pushchair pram is a major consideration for many parents. There are many fashionable and practical options to suit every taste.
A side-by-side pram with two fixed seats is a favorite for parents of children of the same age. These are often smaller than tandem or in-line double pushchairs, making them easier to slide through doors and navigate busy footpaths and in shops. They can be used in conjunction with carrycots or car seats in the event that they are needed, based on your preference.
Another option is a single-to double pram conversion kit that allows you to turn your current pushchair into a double one by the addition of the second seat. This is a great way to protect your investment in the future and avoid purchasing a double buggy. The Joolz Geo3 is our favourite double pram for this. It blends two styles and features a clever frame which expands in the width to accommodate a second seat. It can be used for two carrycots, carseats and toddler seats when your child is old enough.
Other fashionable options include other options that are stylish, such as the Babybee LUNA pram. This extremely safe and stylish double pram is designed to suit babies from birth to five years old. Both seats independently recline to a fully flat position (which is recommended for newborns until they are around six months old). The LUNA can be used in conjunction with a cozy LUNA newborn cocoon, or with 2 car seats and adheres to all Australian safety standards.
These double prams can be a good choice for families with close-aged children. These prams may be slightly wider than other double buggies and are more difficult to maneuver on busy footpaths or up and down kerbs.
If you want a less bulky alternative look into the Cybex DUO2 that is available in both mono and duo modes. It has a large basket that can be placed behind the seat when in the parent-facing position. The seat is reversible so you can have your child facing either you or the rest of the world.
